This project aims to improve the accessibility of wastewater and effluent data accessibility for managers of provincial water resources. The project objectives are two-fold: 1) Compile an up-to-date, comprehensive, and provincially consistent data set of municipal wastewater and industrial effluent water (quantity and quality). 2) Improve electronic municipal wastewater and effluent reporting. To achieve these objectives, the proponent will: o Compile and review wastewater and industrial effluent monitoring records; o Conduct a gap analysis to identify reported EPEA records not yet electronically captured and centrally stored by comparing current existing data sets in relation to reporting requirements; o Identify notable limitations of existing data sets or reporting requirements relevant to potential bias or reproducibility: For example: o Patterns in capture vs. non-capture of data (e.g. sector, temporal, and/or geographical) o Instances of incomplete reporting requirements or capture (e.g. calculated metrics, such as un-ionized ammonia, without variables necessary to reproduce them); o Other observations o Conduct a jurisdictional review of electronic reporting practices and available options to improve electronic reporting capabilities;o Project deliverables are expected to include:o Facilitation of a workshop to present findings of informational and jurisdictional reviews and propose options for moving forward; o Compilation of an up-to-date and functional municipal wastewater and effluent dataset; o Tools (e.g., template) for digital data submission; and o Presentation of database and project results to AEP and other stakeholders o Report summarizing approach, results, and recommendations of the project, including the identification of any temporal and spatial data gaps within the data set compiled and entered into the database.
